Singing and acting sensation, Beyoncé Knowles was ranked #4 on Forbes magazine’s list of 100 Most Powerful Celebrities! How awesome is that?! I’ve got to agree, though. With her ability to excel in everything she does, how could she not be among the most powerful? Plus, with her latest music video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” she’s created a YouTube phenomenon of people making videos of themselves doing her dance moves. She definitely deserved this position.
Here’s what Forbes had to say about her:
In the last year, Queen B dropped a double album, starred in two films, performed at both the Oscars and a Presidential Inaugural Ball and embarked on what is expected to be, at minimum, a 110-date international tour. She also expanded a fashion collection that includes casual and formal lines as well as jewelry and eyeglasses, and added sponsors Nintendo, Crystal Geyser and General Mills to a roster of endorsers already including L’Oréal, Giorgio Armani and Samantha Thavasa handbags
Husband, Jay-Z didn’t do too shabby either! He came in at the #32 spot on the magazine’s list! They said of the rap star:
Jay-Z reclaims his crown as the top earner in hip-hop cash this year, despite taking a steep pay cut from the $82 million he brought in a year ago. The reason? He signed a top-heavy 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation last April. Still had a good year: embarked on an international tour, made a groundbreaking appearance at the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival and married longtime girlfriend, singer Beyoncé. Owns a stake in pro basketball’s New Jersey Nets and New York’s 40/40 nightclub.
That is fantastic! I mean, when you work hard and you’ve accomplished so much in your life, considering how young Beyoncé is still, it’s got to feel amazing to be recognized as one of the most powerful celebrities ever. Congrats to Bey and Jay!
